Monogram B-24D "Sleepy / The Squaw" Bond Tour Markings in 1/48th Scale
I have always really liked the B-24 and have built a few of these kits over the years. Ungainly looking, and never getting the love from the press and many aircrews that the B-17 did, I still love it. When I was young I read a lot of [...]
Revell 1/48 B-24D

Hawker Typhoon FR Mk.1B

Monogram 1/48 P-40B Warhawk
Conceived as a pursuit aircraft, the P-40B was agile at low and medium altitudes but suffered from a lack of power at higher altitudes. At medium and high speeds it was one of the tightest-turning early monoplane designs of the war and it [...]
